AT approximately 5:23 a.m. on October 29, Richmond RCMP attended the 11000-block of Bridgeport Road for a hit-and-run involving a pedestrian.

According to the pedestrian, as he was crossing Bridgeport Road at Simpson Road, a vehicle allegedly pulled out of a parking lot and struck him, causing him to fall. The pedestrian did not get a good look at the vehicle, however, a witness described the vehicle as a gray SUV.
